Especially, the focus is to design highly directive antennas, because it enhances the performance of the overall system by compensating the large path loss at THz and thus improves the signal-to-noise ratio. This paper presents suitable material for nanoantenna design and the advancement in their performance for THz communications. Copper, Graphene, and carbon nanotube materials are used as promising candidates for nanoantenna design. The performance of nanoantennas is carried out by analyzing the properties and behavior of the material at THz. Results show that the Graphene nanoantenna provides better performance in terms of miniaturization, directivity, and radiation efficiency. Further, the performance enhancement of the nanoantenna at THz is studied by dynamically adjusting the surface conductivity via the chemical potential of Graphene using the electric field effect. The performance of the nanoantenna is enhanced in terms of high miniaturization, high directivity, low reflection, frequency reconfiguration, and stable impedance. The THz nanoantennas using Graphene have the potential to be used for THz communication systems. In view of the smart THz wireless environment; this paper finally presents a THz Hypersurface using Graphene meta-atoms. The user-side Graphene nanoantennas and environment-side Graphene Hypersurface can build a promising smart THz wireless environment.","PeriodicalId":93611,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication : Virtual Conference, September 23-25, 2020 : NanoCom 2020.

Cryptographers find a safe way to store and transport information, and hackers attempt to access it. Today, this war is waged on a much more microscopic scale, and as new storage methods, like ones utilizing DNA are developed, cryptographers need to find a way to protect the data from malicious entities1,2. A solution may lie in the thousands of proteins in the human cell and attaching information onto these proteins while preserving their function. Even though there are encryption schemes that managed to insert information onto DNA a reliable approach to consistently preserve the function of the protein, and hence the viability of the cells transporting the information is necessary2,3. As a result, the motivation of this study was to devise a way to efficiently hide a message in living cells that cannot be discovered without DNA sequencing. We utilized these proteins, coupled with this Artificial Intelligence (AI) centered approach, to devise a standard scheme where one could reliably encode encrypted information onto these functional proteins. On the basis of repeated predictability modeling, and wet lab generations of the model system, Enhance Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP). Our group attempted to develop a program capable of reliably encrypting information onto a protein of interest, EGFP, based on a desired degree of functionality and the amount of information needed to be encrypted. The encryption done was based on the Advanced Encryption standard (AES), the golden standard of encryption established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)4. This scheme, similar to the work done centuries ago, contributes to the added security and applicability of novel data storage and information transfer methods in the field of synthetic biology.","PeriodicalId":93611,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication : Virtual Conference, September 23-25, 2020 : NanoCom 2020.

The existence of Impermeable Regions (IR) in the oil reservoir (i.e., underground areas that allow only few hydrocarbons-collecting fluids to pass through) still hinders current production performance to a great extent. Research efforts have been invested into IR detection and mapping. The state of the art solution [1] leverages nanoscale sensor networks to approximately characterize the location of a single IR in the underground oil reservoir. However, the characterization accuracy is rather low. In addition, existing solutions are not applicable to more heterogeneous reservoirs, which reflects, in fact, a more realistic problem scenario. In this paper, we investigate and address the limitations of state of the art solutions in two aspects: 1) we provide a sub-terahertz (THz) communication channel to reflect realism of nanocommunication in the underground; 2) we develop a sensor path (i.e., simulated streamlines along which sensors are assumed to flow) reconstruction workflow to map a more heterogeneous reservoir with more IRs. Through simulations, we show that our proposed solution achieves an improvement of IRs mapping performance, when compared to the state of the art solution.","PeriodicalId":93611,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 7th ACM International Conference on Nanoscale Computing and Communication : Virtual Conference, September 23-25, 2020 : NanoCom 2020.

The animation can be rotated, moved, zoomed in and it is possible to navigate through different time steps. For a quick interpretation of simulation results, a heat map of the nanobots concentration can be generated via post-processing.
